I ran a similar 60' time and was unhappy with it, if you get that down, it'll be even faster. nice time.</P>

Yeah, because when I launched at 2000, I was sticking so well that the car would jump out, bog for a sec, then pick up again so I could definitely get that 60 down.Without any suspension work or any special tires, what should I be able to get it down to?</P>

Hey redneck, we basically live in the same area. What track did you go to? I'll be popping my track cherry soon too. Just curious as to where I should go. I'm thinking of going to DeSoto in Bradenton. Just curious.

I went to the one in Bradenton and was very impressed. Its a top notch track. We should get together and go make some runs next time they have test and tune. If ya wanna, pm me and we can plan something like that...</P>

Cool. Which gears you getting? I was looking at 3.73's, or 3.90's...

<FONT size=2>I think that I'm gonna go with the happy medium. 3.90's for me. But I'm waiting to hear some guys on here who have them, so I know if they are recommended or not. If not the 3.90's then probably 4.10's. I've heard that 3.73's don't make enough of a difference for the $$. </FONT>

Good job for your first time at the track. Get that 60 down and youll be much happier. Oh and i have an idea. Buy my nitto drag radials<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">thats worth a couple tenths there.
